The Text tool places text objects on your map. Press T or B+- to select it.
Text objects are placed in the Images layer. If a text object is not visible after placing, check that the Images layer is on top in the Layers menu. See Managing Layers for more details.
Placing Text
Click to place a text object. Once placed, type to enter your text.
To move or delete a text object after placing it, use the Object tool.
Tool settings
Use the Tool Settings panel to set the style of text before placing it.
Snap
When Snap is on, text objects align to the grid based on the current Division setting. To toggle snapping on or off with a keyboard shortcut, press S.
Division
Sets the snapping resolution as a fraction of a grid cell. Works the same way as in the Rectangle tool. To set the division with a keyboard shortcut, press Shift+S followed by a number representing the denominator. For example, Shift+S then 2 sets 1/2 cell snapping, and Shift+S then 3 sets 1/3 cell snapping.

Font size
Sets the size of the text. Enter a value in the input field or use the slider.
Colour
Sets the colour of the text. Enter a hex colour value in the input field, or click the colour swatch to open the colour picker.
Editing a Placed Text Object
To edit a text object after it has been placed, use the Object tool:
- Click once to select the text object. Use the handles to resize or rotate it, or drag it to move it.
- Click a second time to enter edit mode. In edit mode, you can type to change the text content.
To exit edit mode, click outside the text object. To delete a text object, exit edit mode first, then press Backspace or Delete.
When a text object is selected, the Layer Settings panel will update to show editable options.
